Level crossing in Maxdorf: Rupp curve closed for a long time!

The level crossing number 24 on the Rhein-Haardtbahn in the Rupp curve, Maxdorf, is currently closed due to security concerns. This preliminary measure could soon have a permanent solution, as Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH (RNV) informed. The blocking affects active lines 4, 4a and 9, whose routes must be adjusted. Commuters and residents have to adjust to possible detours until a new regulation is made that can ensure both safety and smooth traffic flow. Information about when a reopening can still be expected is still pending. href = "https://www.rheinpfalz.de/lokal/rhein-pfalz-kreis_Artikel ,-rhein-haardtbahn-fahrt-number-24-ist-getriT-_arid.5725143.html" Class = "Source_1"> Rheinpfalz

closure in focus

In addition to the blocking of the level crossing, the future closure of the Rupp curve is also considered. A final decision about it is still pending, but everything indicates that the complete closure could become an option. Such measures are part of a more comprehensive security concept that Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH continuously checks in order to minimize dangerous situations in the track areas, the VG-Maxdorf .

The effects on public transport and private transport could be significant, since alternative routes have to be planned so as not to further endanger rail operations. The RNV was commissioned to find solutions as soon as possible to ensure both safety and the comfort of passengers.
